Case Studies

The work we do provides them with the opportunity to go on to lead crime-free lives. The knowledge, skills and self-confidence they gain in the process helps them to succeed in the world of work, reducing the risk of re-offending.

Many have gone on to lead the kind of lives that they once would have regarded as unattainable. Read all about their experiences below.

Offenders studying with Novus have embarked on remarkable personal journeys, making life-changing progress and achieving above and beyond their expectations.

We dedicate ourselves to raising the aspirations of young people and adults in custody and in the community by providing them with the best offender education, training and employability services.

James’ journey back into employment

When ‘James’ began his sentence at HMP Moorland, he could not have been less confident about his future job prospects. He hadn’t worked for five years due to ill health, and the stigma of being sent to prison would seemingly make it even harder to return to employment.

Despite the hurdles in his way, James was still committed to finding a job upon release, having worked in construction in the past.
